Escapist fun, awesome movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2018)

This movie is deliciously cheesy, beautifully filmed, well-acted, .exciting as all get out, and an absolute blast. Very original and amazing in scope, with jaw-dropping visuals. Giant machines and monsters battling each other and destroying cities in the classic Japanese style.
That said, the movie is NOT Japanese, but Master Director Guillermo del Toro's work. You feel the enormity of the giant war machines, the Jaegers. You feel their incredible size, and the earth-shaking vibration of every foot step. You feel the terror unleashed by the monstrous Kaiju from the depths of the Pacific. And you revel in the incredible technological wizardry of the battle scenes. It is awesome!
And in classic del Toro style, he actually slows it down every so often so we get a glimpse into some very interesting characters. You are witnessing a master filmmaker at work. Go have fun and watch this film.
